Glenn Danzig recently made it very clear in an interview with Full Metal Jackie that he's not interested in doing any more new Danzig material. On that, he said: "The whole music thing and recording and everything, it's just changed dramatically where people really don't buy physical product anymore. They just want to download it for free online. So there's really no incentive to do new music unless I'm in the studio and I do something and I want to give it away for free to everybody."
Though what about new Misfits? According to the man himself in an interview with 98 Rock radio station, that's a possibility. Danzig said he'd be down for maybe a new Misfits song or two, but certainly not a full-length album… and maybe the same for new Danzig too. Yeah I know, I'm a little confused as well.
"Maybe a song. Not an album. No. [Laughs] Look, people now just wanna download your stuff for free, and they don't understand that it costs money to go in a studio and record a record. So it's not really a great business model to go and record a record and then not be able to recoup your money that you spent making the record. So, with Danzig, it might be like the Misfits — maybe I'll record a song or two and just release it, and it won't cost that much."
He continued: "In the beginning, the Misfits only released singles. We couldn't afford to put out an album. But a lot of the punk bands, that's how it was — you couldn't afford to do an album, especially if you were underground. You weren't on a big label, [so] you could only afford to do a single. So maybe I'll do that for Danzig, and maybe we'll do it for the Misfits. We'll see."
If it does end up happening, it'd be the first Danzig-fronted Misfits track (or tracks) to come out in over 40 years. And really, if Danzig wanted to get the most bang for his buck, he might as well just do a Misfits and Danzig split.
